Canada walked in circles in the party room, the mixed feelings suffocating him. He had always been ignored, and it did not feel that good to be mistaken as America either. Sometimes, he really wanted to scold that brother of his a bit. All America ever did was cause trouble, and push the blame to him.
It was really tiring.
"I should really let America hear what I have to say." Canada stopped and muttered to himself.
But the last time he tried it, America was holding a chainsaw and looking rather… Nevermind. If he still wants to live, then he should never ever try talking to America directly. Should he teach America a lesson by poisoning his ice cream instead? Then again, America never did fall sick due to anything, did him?
"Ahh! This is so frustrating!" Canada tightened his grip on the bear.
The bear struggled free before it was about to die due to a lack to air and ran to a side, picking up some crayons left by someone else.
"Kukameiji san, what do you have there?" Canada noticed it and went closer for a better look.
Then, Kumajiro san started drawing on the clean and sparkly bright wall.
"Ahh! Kumajimei san! You cannot scribble here! If China kun finds out, then we would be in troubl-"
"Draw here. Then everyone else would see it." Kumajiro san suddenly said without looking at Canada and passed him a black crayon.
Staring at the stick of crayon in his hand, Canada suddenly had a super crazy idea…
"A~ni~ki~ I am tired." Korea complained.
"Stop whining already, you are getting on my nerves." Taiwan smacked Korea's head with her extra-long sleeve.
"But we have been walking for forever da ze!"
"Please be patient and bear with it Korea san. I am sure we will be able to find Hong Kong san and England san soon." Japan said.
"I won't listen to you unless you agree that your breasts are mine." Korea stared at Japan, who quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Korea, stop playing aru. If you still have the energy to scare Japan, walking a few more steps won't hurt." China was a bit annoyed.
The fact that they have been walking for so long without seeing or hearing England or Hong Kong may simply meant that they were unlucky or that they should have chosen the left path. Either way, this was not going to end well.
"Teacher! Stop!" Taiwan suddenly shouted.
"Hmm- Ouch!" Before China could react, his head hit a rock wall in front of him, making a clear knocking sound
In other words, he knocked into a dead end.
"Aniki! It is a dead end!" Korea shouted, sounding rather excited.
… Now we know who to count on to speak the obvious.
"I am afraid that we may have to walk back to the split and choose the left path instead." Japan touched the rock wall with his hand, feeling the rough and cold texture.
"More walking?" Korea's soul just flew out of his body due to excessive shock…
Just then, the ground under them started shaking vigorously, giving them a shock. Caught unprepared, everyone started to panic. Well, everyone except Japan, who had gotten used to these kind of stuff. After all, earthquakes were quite common in his house.
"Ear- Earthquake? Here?" China practically stuck himself to the wall, trying hard to gain his balance.
"I don't think so teacher. This seems like another-"
Before Taiwan could finish her sentence, the ground finally gave in and cracked, devouring the four countries.
"TRAP!" Taiwan screamed as she fell into the hole, along with Japan, Korea and China.
"Another hole DA-ZE?" Korea did not forget to complain even in a situation like this…
"This is…" Germany lifted his head, staring at the huge round bolder blocking their way.
"How did it get here?" France knocked the bolder with his hand, it was pretty solid.
"Waa! It is so round!" Italy immediately leaped forward and started hugging the bolder for unknown reasons.
Both Germany and France facepalmed.
"Da, how are we going to continue if this is here?"
"Ahahaha! Let me, the hero save the day!" America laughed confidently, "it is like a ball right? So we will just have to roll it as we go!" America was almost beaming with pride for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
Everyone stared at America, speechless. Did America not notice that they would be pushing a bolder, probably heavier than 2 elephant's weight added together, uphill? ( Note: England and Hong Kong last left the bolder stopping right at the start of a uphill slope.)
"Brother, what about the other path instead?" Belarus pointed to another path that England and Hong Kong probably missed since they were rushing like mad thanks to the bolder that was chasing after them.
Almost instantly, the countries all nodded their head upon Belarus's suggestion and with America leading the way, walked down the 'other path'. The 'other path' was much safer and there were no traps here and there, making the countries' journey a smooth and easy one…
Until they ended up staring down a steep cliff.
"Looks like we will have to America's plan after all." France sighed as America laughed proudly.
"Wait, I somehow have this feeling that something is missing." Germany suddenly pointed out and got everyone thinking and looking around.
"Now that you mention it, isn't it a bit too quiet da?" Russia said as a sense of realization struck Germany.
"Where's Italy?" Germany shouted, panicking. That idiot would kill himself in a place like this.
"Germany! Wait for me!" Right after Germany had finished his sentence, Italy was heard, along with his frantic footsteps.
The countries turned around to see Italy charging at them at full speed and were immediately horrified, especially Germany.
"Italy! Stop!" Germany shouted as loud as he could.
But the terrible feeling of being alone got the better of Italy as he continued running, finally banging into Germany, who took a step back and hit France by accident. France then lost his balance and accidentally pushed Belarus, who dragged Russia along and somehow managed to trip America. Our hero leaned back and very unfortunately, realized that there was no wall for support. His realization was sadly, a bit too late.
To put it simply, Italy's sudden pushing action caused a train reaction, pushing America down the cliff. But that was not it. The hero does not go down alone.
America managed to grab Russia's scarf just in time. But the years of eating hamburgers had caused him to gain a lot of weight, thus pulling Russia down with him. Belarus, of course, would not allow her dear brother to leave her. So she bravely tagged alone, followed by France and finally Italy and Germany.
Thus, our group led by the hero himself had fallen off the cliff, all thanks to Italy.
"HELP! SOMEBODY! JAPAN! HELP!" Italy cried.
All he did was hugged the bolder for a while longer before catching up with the others… So why did it end like this?
